Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage)
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Optional Toppings
- Green onions
- Salsa
- Avocado
- Jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside.
- Scramble eggs: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the same or a clean skillet and scramble over medium heat until just set but still moist. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
- Assemble enchiladas: Spoon an even amount of the egg and sausage mixture onto each flour tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Prepare sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Top enchiladas: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: For the oven method, bake the dish uncovered in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Pressure cook (optional): For the Instant Pot method, place the baking dish on a trivet inside the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water at the bottom. Cover the dish with foil and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Perform a quick release when cooking is complete.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven or pot and garnish with your choice of toppings such as chopped green onions, fresh salsa, sliced avocado, or jalapeños before serving.
